SC restores Cong govt in Arunachal GOVERNOR’S ORDERS SCRAPPED; TUKI RE-INSTATED AS CM

on January 26 after 21 Congress MLAs rebelled against the Tuki government. BJP, however, said it does not see the development as a setback for the BJP. Commenting on the Supreme Court’s verdict, union law minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said that the government will study Supreme Court judgment in detail before making any reaction.

N EW D ELHI , J UL 1 3 (AGENCIES): In the landmark judgement given by Supreme Court on Wednesday, the Congress government was restored in Arunachal Pradesh, scrapping all decisions by Governor JP Rajkhowa that precipitated the fall of the previous administration.

Supreme Court directed a status quo ante (a return to the original status) in Arunachal Pradesh as it prevailed on December 15, 2015, referring to the time before a rebellion in the Assembly created chaos in the state’s political system and led to President’s Rule being imposed there. According to government of India’s Attorney General Mukul Rohtagi, Tuki stands re-instated as chief minister of Arunachal Pradesh as per Supreme Court ruling.

Talking to a TV channel , he said “The Centre has nothing to do with this case. The

Governor is party to this case.

He will have to honour the Supreme Court judgment.”

With the landmark judgment, the Nabam Tuki-led Congress government stands reinstated in the state, and the President’s Rule becomes void.

It also means that dissident Congress leader Kalikho Pul, who was sworn in as the chief minister on February 20, will no longer hold the post.

The court also said that all orders passed by Governor Jyoti Prasad Rajkhowa after December 9, 2015, are unsustainable. The bench was hearing a petition filed against a Gauhati High Court verdict regarding Governor JP Rajkhowa’s decision to bring forward the winter session of the Assembly without consulting Tuki.

Tuki welcomed the court’s verdict and said, “A historic and remarkable judgement which was expected by the people of

country.” He said he will hold talks with party legislators and decide on the future course of action. (More on p-15) Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief and Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal, who has been locked in bitter turf battles with the Centre, described the Supreme Court judgment as a “tight slap on (the) dictatorial Modi government”.

The CPI-M urged the Modi government to “stop its growing authoritarian tendency of invoking central rule in states” ruled by non-BJP parties. Congress leader Kapil Sibal addressed a press conference after the verdict and said, “This day will be written in golden words in the history of India.” The party demanded an immediate resignation from Rajkhowa.

The verdict is a big blow to the ruling BJP that had placed the state under President’s Rule

Keep the spirit of coalition alive: Zeliang

DIMAPUR, JUL 13 (NPN): Nagaland chief minister, T.R.Zeliang, while speaking the launching of the North East Democratic Alliance (NEDA) in Guwahati on Wednesday, called for keep the spirit of coalition alive and said when like-minded political parties get together and work for the over-all development of the respective States, the Northeast region would develop on par with the rest of the country.

Citing practical difficulties faced by the states of the region owing to defective funding pattern, Zeliang pointed out that instead of hiking up the annual funds for the region, the fund allocation has been diminishing over the years.

He suggested that rather than have separate sources of funds such as NEC, NLCPR and DoNER, it would be most convenient to have the funds for the region sanctioned to NEC directly from source.

CM appealed to the DoNER Minister Jitendra Singh to ensure the suggestion since it would be more beneficial to all the individual states of the region. He requested the Centre to ensure early completion of projects.

conference held at Syracuse

DIMAPUR: Naga American Foundation (NAF) held its 2016 conference in Syracuse, New York on July 8 and 9. The Syracuse conference, the 15th such gathering organized by the NAF, was hosted by Chris and Khati Prosonic of Solvay, New York.

Over 100 individuals from across the United States attended this year’s event, marking the largest NAF conference attendance since the organization’s founding over 25 years ago.

Dr. KilanglaYanger, research scientist at the Harvard Stem Cell Institute in Boston, Massachusetts, and Wungram Shishak, policy analyst at the Bureau of Diplomatic Security in the US department of State in Washington, were keynote speakers at the conference.

Dr. Yanger spoke of how her work as a stem cell scientist mirrors the experience of Nagas in America.

“Studying organ regeneration I see certain analogies with my work and NAF’s cultural goals,” she said. “Whether the Nagas in the US were born here or in Nagaland, we’re all somewhat cut away from our native homes and hence trying to re-grow as a community in this new environment.” Shishak talked about his path to working for the US government, and emphasized the “necessity of not giving up in the face of obstacles”.

Both speakers recounted their upbringings in Nagaland, and

Members of Naga American Foundation

happy to see so many Nagas here [in the conference]. I am hopeful that we will continue to see growth in these gatherings” Aier said.

Sema thanked everyone and also acknowledged the hosts, Chris and Khati Prosonic. “Hosting an event like this takes tremendous effort,” she said. “Chris and Khati have gone above and beyond to make this gathering a huge success.” Sema also described how Sid and Asangla Abrol and their children, who live in Rochester, New York, drove 90 miles to attend the final conference dinner after learning about it through WhatsApp just two hours before it began. “This just shows how connected we are as Nagas,” she said. “Even in a country like the United States, we can so easily, and without any hesitation, come together as one community.”

NEW DELHI, JUL 13 (PTI): An immigration officer, who allegedly racially harassed a Manipuri woman, has been questioned by intelligence officers after a Home Ministry inquiry identified him as the person who interacted with her in his desk at the IGI airport here.

The immigration officer has been identified by investigators after checking the CCTV footage of the immigration area in IGI airport here, a Home Ministry official said.

Monika Khangembam had alleged that on Saturday an immigration official at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport hurled racist remarks at her when she was on her way to Seoul for a conference.

“The officer is being questioned about his behaviour and on the woman’s complaints,” the official said.

After receiving the reports of the alleged racial harassment, Union Minister of State for Home Kiren Rijiju had said that an inquiry was instituted into the allegation of racial harassment and action will be taken if anyone is found guilty.

On her Facebook wall,

high speed internet service was completed, the class will be commenced, the director said. This pilot project will link the five colleges and the facility will be used to deliver and live-stream lectures. That is, students of these colleges will be able to attend a class conducted in one of the colleges and interact with the lecturers, he said.

“In order to cope with it and also to improve teaching –learning environment, modern IT facilities have to be introduced in all the colleges of Manipur so that the students can interact and compete with their counterparts of developed states,” he said. ]He, however, regretted that most of the graduates who pass from the colleges were without suitable knowledge or skill or do not satisfy the raising standards for jobs or professions as they lack in technical skills in this skilldriven society. In order to arrest this crucial problem, the department was planning to take up a few schemes under Central and state funding mechanisms to offer skill-oriented training programmes in the colleges above the normal classes of study, he said.

AG A RTA L A , J U L 1 3 (IANS): A local court in Tripura on Wednesday sent to three days police custody a senior Tripura government official who was arrested a day ago in Assam’s Karimganj on rape charges, police said.

“The court sent him to three days police custody,” West Tripura district police chief Abhijit Saptarshi told IANS. He said that senior police officials would interrogate him about the incident and the police are also looking for two locals who helped Ahmed to flee to Assam.

The Tripura government had suspended the civil service official, who was a sub-divisional magistrate in Sonamura sub-division of Sepahijala district.

“The state government had recently requested the Union Home Ministry for issuance of a red corner notice to track Ahmed,” Saptarshi said. A Muslim woman, mother of two children, filed an FIR with the West Agartala police station here on June 27 that Ahmed called her to his private residence

provision in law for 21 Kashmir relatively peaceful, Uniformity will be disastrous No parl secys: Centre to HC Mehbooba talks of ‘healing touch’ for country’s development: Prez

President Pranab Mukherjee is presented a memento during a visit to Himalayan Mountaineering Institute in Darjeeling on Wednesday. (PTI) DARJEELING, JUL 13 (PTI): Citing India’s vast diversity, President Pranab Mukherjee Wednesday said any one form or uniformity in the country will be disastrous.

Addressing a function here, the President laid emphasis on the country’s multi-racial culture.

“We celebrate our diversity. We do not try to bring any one form or uniformity because we know that will be most disastrous to our social foray and development. Unity in diversity is strength in us.

We are united in our national bondage,” he said.

Mukherjee said the vast-

ness of India is in its diversity.

He was speaking at a function to mark the 202nd birth anniversary of Nepali poet Bhanubhakta Acharya at ‘Chowrasta’ (Mall) here.

The President’s assertion has come at a time when there is a debate over implementation of uniform civil code in the country.

Mukherjee said India has an excellent relationship with Nepal. “We would like to strengthen this relationship amongst us,” he said.

Talking about the great poet, the President said he had composed his poems in Nepali but his message was for entire

humanity.

“His appeal transcends the boundaries of geography and time. He was delighted to have this opportunity to pay homage to the foremost poet of Nepali language,” he said.

Praising the people of Darjeeling for having nurtured different cultures and identities, Mukherjee said unity in diversity was India’s strength.

Earlier in the day, the President has visited Himalayan Mountaineering Institute here. The President is on a three-day visit to Darjeeling.

West Bengal Governor Keshari Nath Tripathi was present during the function.

RTI applicants clarify

NEW DELHI, JUL 13 (PTI): Opposing the appointment of 21 parliamentary secretaries by the Aam Aadmi Party government, the Centre Wednesday told Delhi High Court that it could have only one attached to Chief Minister of Delhi as per the existing provisions of law.

“That the post of parliamentary secretaries neither finds place in the Constitution of India, nor does it find place in the Delhi Members of Legislative Assembly (Removal of Disqualification) Act of 1997, except for the post of Parliamentary Secretary to the Chief Minister.

“Therefore, appointment of 21 parliamentary secretaries vide the impugned order dated March 13, 2015, is not covered by the law,” the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) told a bench of Chief Justice G Rohini and Justice Sangita Dhingra Sehgal.

The MHA, represented

by Central Government standing counsel Jasmeet Singh, made the submission in an affidavit filed in response to the court’s notice to the Centre on an NGO’s PIL seeking quashing of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s March 13 order appointing 21 Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLAs as Parliamentary Secretaries.

In its affidavit, MHA also said that Delhi government had tried to legalise the appointment of the 21 parliamentary secretaries by amending the Delhi Members of Legislative Assembly (Removal of

Hukavi T Yeputhomi, further stated that “Go Karting at Padum Pukhuri is solely owned by Toshi Longchari and family since 1980s and the said family had opened Go Karting in 2002, and that it has never been sold to anybody or agencies including government of Nagaland.”

Centre allocates food grains under NFSA

DIMAPUR, JUL 13 (NPN): Directorate of food and civil supplies (F&CS) has informed that the ministry has allocated food grains for the beneficiaries under the national Food Security Act (NFSA) 2013 for Kohima and Dimapur districts, which was launched on June 27, 2016 by the chief minister and minister in-charge.

In a press release, F&CS director Alun Hangsing stated that the same could be viewed in the departmental website http://fcs.nagaland.gov.in under public notice column.

In this connection, the department stated that it was also

taking up constant exercises to cover the remaining districts at the earliest.

All beneficiaries concerned (i.e. under AYY and PHH) have been instructed to submit respective Aadhaar number for seeding in the ration cards. The department said it has become necessary to produce Aadhaar number for the purpose of establishing identity of an individual as a condition for receipt of subsidy, benefit or service for which the expenditure is incurred from or the receipt therefrom forms part of the Consolidated Fund of India.

NSCN (I-M) condemns NIA’s action DIMAPUR, JUL 13 (NPN): NSCN (I-M) on Wednesday strongly condemned the act of NIA “for unduly questioning Kishore Jeedung, steering committee member” on July 12, 1 p.m. at his residence in Dhansiripar, Dimapur.

In press note, NSCN (I-M) MIP said, though Jeedung was not physically harassed, the NIA team led by one Dy. SP from Assam Branch who had come along with three Nagaland Police personnel asked several personal questions as well as on matter concerning his service as a national worker.

MIP said the officials did not disclose the purpose of the visit.

It said despite 19 years of ceasefire and the political talks between the government of India GoI and Nagas represented by NSCN, such act was “disheartening to note that NIA had been playing a spoiled brat by going against the principle and the spirit of ceasefire agreed ground rules and the peace process”.

MIP said when NIA summoned their leaders to their Court on several occasion, NSCN (I-M) had clearly stated that “we are not in a position to comply to because legal entanglements must not come on the way to solution”.

During more than 70 years of arm conflict, MIP said thousands of human rights violation was committed upon Nagas by the Indian Army and the Indian leaders.

“If the NIA justifies to summon, to interrogate, to investigate or to question any of the Naga Nationalist then the GoI needs to be reminded that Nagas have our time tested traditional customary Courts that can in the same way as the NIA does starts summoning Indian Army personnel and Indian Agencies as well”, MIP said.

If such was the case, MIP said it would hamper the ongoing Indo Naga political talk. It further advised NIA and Assam Riffles “not to further indulge in illegal raid, abduction, summon, investigation etc. so that, the larger objective of achieving political solution is arrived at sooner than later”.

ation and it calls for extraordinary steps. We had forged an electoral adjustment with Congress to protect democracy.

It was fight for existence and leadership has to acknowledge the fact”. “But a section of the Central Committee members failed to understand our situation and have been accusing us of violating the party’s political line. What will you do with a political line if your comrades and party supporters get killed everyday and your very existence is at stake?” he said.

At the CPI(M) state committee meeting here yesterday senior members of the Politburo, including party General Secretary Sitaram Yechury held a closed door meet with state committee members to implement the official party line.

The Central Committee had on June 20, over a month after the poll result in the state which saw Trinamool Congress ride back to power, said the electoral tactics adopted in West Bengal was not in “conso-

SRINAGAR, JULY 13 (PTI): Barring some incidents of stone- pelting, Kashmir was relatively calm on Wednesday after four days of violence which claimed 34 lives and over which Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti expressed “great sadness and sorrow” and promised a “healing touch”.

Curfew remained in force in some parts of Kashmir, including Pampore and Kupwara towns, while restrictions on movement of people were imposed in the rest of the Valley. A police spokesman said barring “some incidents” of stone pelting at various places, the situation “remained under control” in the valley.

The stray and intermittent incidents of stone pelting were reported from Khudwani, Kulgam, Iman Sahib, Shopian

(DR. YANKHO LOTHA) Mission Director, NHM

and Kakpora in south Kashmir, Kralpora, Kupwara, Trehgam, Langate, Lalpora, Putkha Sopore and Main Chowk Sopore in north Kashmir, he said.

The death toll rose to 34 in the clashes between stone pelters and security forces since the killing of Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani on last Friday.

Reaching out to the people, Mehbooba sought their “support in pulling J&K out of the vortex of violence and bloodshed.” She said she needs people’s support in realising the dream of a politicallyemancipated, economically self-reliant and socially secure Jammu and Kashmir. “The 27year-long violence has left deep wounds in almost each home here and we have to jointly safeguard our state and our

people from further bloodshed and destruction,” she said after paying homage to the martyrs of 1931 at the Martyrs graveyard in Khawaja Bazar area of downtown Srinagar.

Commenting on the current unrest, Mehbooba said, “My heart is overwhelmed with great sadness and sorrow as a result of the killings in the latest spate of violence in Kashmir.”

Asserting that “I won’t let the people down, despite facing a challenging task”, she said, “While my government’s immediate priority would be to reach out to the affected families with a healing touch, in the long run a concerted effort shall have to be launched to make peace and stability a reality in J&K, with youth being the focus of the government’s welfare initiatives.”

Two bills likely to be passed today

Correspondent

KOHIMA, JUL 13 (NPN): Two-day monsoon session, which began on July 12, would conclude on Thursday with two bills likely to be passed i.e. Nagaland salaries, allowances and other facilities of the chief minister, other ministers, speaker, leader of opposition, deputy speaker, other members of the NLA, parliamentary secretaries and pension for the ex-MLAs through the fifth amendment bill 2016 and St. Joseph’s Catholic University Bill.

Disqualification) Act, but the President has withheld his assent to the amendment bill.

The high court did not hear arguments in the matter today after the Delhi government said that a petition has been moved before Election Commission for disqualification of the 21 MLAs and the poll panel has issued notice in that. The bench, thereafter, listed the matter for hearing on September 8.

On October 7 last year, the AAP government had defended its order 21 AAP MLAs as Parliamentary Secretaries, saying this was done to assist the ministers and ensure harmonious functioning.

The AAP government had told the court that no office akin to the Council of Ministers has been created and no additional hierarchy imposed upon the legislative assembly.

It had also stated that the parliamentary secretaries were not given any access to confidential documents which are exclusively within the domain of the Minister.

The NGO Rashtriya Mukti Morcha had claimed in its plea that the Chief Minister had issued “unconstitutional and illegal order” in gross violation of the constitutional provisions and the Transaction of Business of the Government of the National Capital Territory of Delhi rules, 1993.

Denying the NGO’s allegation, the Delhi government had said it was not bypassing the statutory functions of the LG.

nance” with its decision not to have an alliance or understanding with Congress.

Stating that this should be rectified, it also stressed the importance of adhering to the political-tactical line adopted at the 21st Congress of the Party.

The Central Committee had then authorised the Politburo to ensure its implementation in consultation with the state leadership of the party.

But with the central leadership trying to enforce the official line, it is facing a stiff opposition from its Bengal unit.

The CPI-M Bengal unit termed the Central Committee’s decision as “arbitrary and a gesture of disrespect to the 2.15 crore voters of the state who voted in favour of the Congress-CPI(M) alliance”.

the Ex-Interim Body Members (IBMs) their pension has been raised two years back thereby it would not be affected during their current session. Sazo informed that there were only six or seven surviving IBMs. Minister social welfare security and welfare parliamentary affairs Kiyanilie Peseyie, who introduced the bill on July 12, stated that the financial implication of the ex-members, which has been raised in tune with the Ex-IBMs, have a higher financial implications of Rs. 70,50,000 and family pension of Rs. 26,10,000 per month.

Meanwhile, chief minister T.R Zeliang has convened a press conference after the assembly session at the conference hall NLA, which is perhaps the first press conference during monsoon session.

NSCN (R), F&CS Mon issue resolved: KU (From p-1) While appreciating the good gesture of the NSCN (R) in returning the busted commodities, the KU fervently appealed to NSCN (R) to issue directives/code of conduct to its entire military and civil officials to abstain from any illegal and immoral activities within Konyak soil. On the other hand, the KU has also appealed to the F&SC Mon to implement all the schemes judiciously so that justice would be delivered to the poor Konyak public.

Further, KU acknowledged the certain confessionary statements of both the parties on the following points.

Firstly, the stand of NSCN (R) “on its motives behind such act which was

moved in delivering social justice for the poor”, and the “justification statement made

by NSCN (R) on the sanctity of its Cease-Fire monitoring office. Hence, no baseless or defamatory accusation should be levied against the Government in future”.

KU also said that it had found out that the “public rented storage was official and not illegal as accused upon”.

Meanwhile, the union applauded the timely intervention of the district administration and law enforcing authority in curbing the situation.

Further, KU has appealed to all sections of societies, head of the departments, NPGs to restrain from all sorts of commotion/activities that might disrupt the peaceful existence within Konyak jurisdiction.

Death Be Not Proud

Vol. XXVI NO. 216 Dimapur, thursday, July 14, 2016

I

Positive and hopeful

t is good news that Nagaland will probably have another University that will join the ranks of other private universities which would greatly help improve the reach, variety and quality of higher education. Nagaland has a high literacy rate of around 80% as per 2011 census and yet the standard of higher education has not reached the desired level. On the other side, each year, a few thousand students are already in various colleges or institutions and after a few years, would graduate from institutions to join the ranks of the unemployed whose number in the state is officially around almost fifty thousand (registered). Students spend the most vital part of their obtaining education after which they step out into society. It is this preparation aspect that has made education a topic of intense debate. A balanced personality development is achievable if there is scope for access to quality education right from the formative stage of life. Though there is great and ever increasing need for providing quality education for all round development of the mental, spiritual and physical aspects of the child; most rest content with academic achievements.

The onus on providing good quality education rests with the academic councils of universities.

Beyond that, the institutions have so far been focused on ‘holistic education’. Today education is being challenged not only to make the students good and responsible citizens but to equip them with skills for pursuing their careers. By and large, private institutions have done well in doing that and so there is expectation from the proposed universities. The quality of education has been at the mercy of government policy planners and which have also resulted in some controversies regarding the selection of certain curriculum for high school students in the past. This indicates perhaps that such decisions were not made after proper study by experienced academicians. It would seem from past HSLC and HSSLC results held under the Nagaland Board of School Education, that the private educational institutions are producing much better results than their government counterparts despite the latter having better qualified teaching faculty.. In the context of higher education, striving for high quality is not a new strategy. Institutions have always held academic excellence and high quality as the highest goals.

The assessment of value added education also puts a lot of onus on the skills, methods and goals of teachers in adding capabilities on the students.

In a region that is unfortunately more known for political violence than on the potential of the human resources of the people, the main task before higher education and primary education is to be responsive and relevant to the environment. . If society is to come out of the present morass and prosper, it would not so much do so by infrastructure development or wealth and power of others but by the character of the individual citizens whose personality is fully developed to their best in various educational institutions. When the quality principles are implemented holistically, a culture for academic excellence is created.

Before that, society and its leaders need to come together to ensure that the social environment provides for growth of academic environment, without which, there can be no progress.

DailyDevotion The Price of the Vision In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord… —Isaiah 6:1

Our soul’s personal history with God is often an account of the death of our heroes. Over and over again God has to remove our friends to put Himself in their place, and that is when we falter, fail, and become discouraged. Let me think about this personally— when the person died who represented for me all that God was, did I give up on everything in life?

Did I become ill or disheartened? Or did I do as Isaiah did and see the Lord?

My vision of God is dependent upon the condition of my character. My character determines whether or not truth can even be revealed to me. Before I can say, “I saw the Lord,” there must be something in my character that conforms to the likeness of God. Until I am born again and really begin to see the kingdom of God, I only see from the perspective of my own biases. What I need is God’s surgical procedure— His use of external circumstances to bring about internal purification.

Your priorities must be God first, God second, and God third, until your life is continually face to face with God and no one else is taken into account whatsoever. Your prayer will then be, “In all the world there is no one but You, dear God; there is no one but You.” Keep paying the price. Let God see that you are willing to live up to the vision.

Quotes

Better a thousand times careful than once dead. ~ Proverb

A

S the memory of the massacre at Dhaka recedes, examples of bravery are coming to the fore. One of them is that of Faraaz Hossain. He was on a vacation at Dhaka from his college in the US where he was pursuing higher studies.

He spent less time at home but used the opportunity to meet his friends from foreign climes at Gulshan’s famous Spanish restaurant, the Holey Artisan Bakery.

When ISIS terrorists struck, Faraaz was having food with his friends at the restaurant. The ISIS killers were singling out and separating Bangladeshis from the others before using weapon.

They came to the table where Faraaz was sitting. Then they asked him whether he was a Bangladeshi and, when he said yes, they pushed him aside before asking others about their nationalities.

When all except Faraaz said that they were non-Bangladeshis, they opened fire from the only gun they had among them. Faraaz protested and told them that he was a part

Nagaland Post, Dimapur thursday, July 14, 2016

of his friends’ group and would not like to be treated separately.

The terrorists then told him that he too would be killed if he did not want to stand aside.

Faraaz preferred to stand with and by his foreign friends. And he knew that the price he would pay could be his possible death.

The terrorists showed no mercy and killed all of them.

Today when the massacre at Dhaka is recalled, people talk about the courage of Faraaz. Probably, this is the only compensation for parents and grandparents whom I know well. In fact, I have had dinner at their house at Dhaka. They lead a simple and austere life.

I met Faraaz at his grandparents’ house. I recall exchanging notes with him about America where I had gone to North Western University to earn an MSC in journalism.

He was raw in his attitude but steadfast in his views, even though he belonged to a very wealthy family. There were no airs about him. He was curious to know about India, which he said he would visit at leisure. He was impressed by our

composite culture, something which he wanted Bangladesh to cherish because it too had a large number of Hindus, nearly 12 million, making Bangladesh the third largest Hindu state in the world after India and Nepal.

I have tried to pick up every detail about the killings.

There is no doubt that Faraaz sacrificed his life for his forKuldip eign friends who were the real targets of the terrorists. This does not make amends for the brutal killing, but it does tell a saga of unbelievable bravery. True, he is mentioned with great respect in every Bangladeshi home and cited as an example of courage, but distraught parents and grandparents can never be consoled. A promising child has been lost from their family.

Such examples of self-sacrifice are by no means unique in the East. They are typical of value systems in the East which do not weigh individualson the scales of wealth as is the case in the West. Mahatma Gandhi is an example. He preferred

to be called a naked faqir, as he was characterized by the West, rather than be known for either wealth or erudition even though he had access to both.

The West cannot understand or appreciate the nonviolent movement of Gandhi.

Hundreds of volunteers went to the sea at Dandi to break the law by makNayar ing salt and they suffered police lathi charges but never hit back because of the ideals of their movement.

Faraaz may not have been a Gandhi follower but he did represent his spirit and discipline. In India, wherever Faraaz’s name has been mentioned, people bring in Gandhi’s name. Had Gandhi been living today, I have no doubt that he would have travelled to victims-stricken Dhaka, just as he went to Noakhali after the fierce riots between Hindus and Muslims in Calcutta. And he would have lauded a person like Faraaz who really represented a figure of noble ideals, decency and self sacrifice.

Just as statues of Bhagat

Singh have been erected all over India, Faraaz should also be remembered in the entire subcontinent and I am confident that people would name their sons and statues after him, not only in Bangladesh but also in India and elsewhere.

At least school textbooks should have a chapter on him, not for the purpose of accelerating the idea of Hindu-Muslim unity, but for making the youth feel proud about Faraaz. They should be able to tell the elders that a person like Faraaz has given an example of the true spirit of the youth, as well as a demonstration of culture in the East and its value system.

I wonder how his nonBangladeshi friends are recalling his memory. They should propagate the example of Faraaz in their own countries so that people of different religions and race feel proud of how an ordinary young man stood by his companions when he could have easily escaped from death.

This has nothing to do with a particular religion to which you belong, but represents the core of every religion:

faith in the people to rise above parochial considerations and think of humanity as a whole.

Unfortunately India, instead of rising above petty parochial appeals and serve as an example to the world, has become a prey to the propaganda of the fanatic fringe.

Since the advent of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s regime, the fringe party is trying to represent the whole. Taslima Nasrin, who was ousted from Bangladesh for having written the story of oppression of women, has asked the followers of Islam to introspect and find out how they have strayed from the real content of the religion. Faraaz would have approved such an approach.

Come to think of it, this is the only approach that is cogent, logical and human.

The fanatic fringe among Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs and Christians should be made to realize that India is a tolerant country and those who are trying to disturb the equation among the communities are disfiguring India and all that it stands for.

Post-mortem

Visible changes under KMC A presentation to the Nagaland Vision 2030 expert group T hrough your esteemed paper, I would like to share some of my observations on the visible changes in the work of Kohima Municipal Council, Kohima over the past two years. This pertains to the developmental activities under taken by the council in its humble way despite many constraints.

First of all, I gave Kudos to the leadership of the KMC for taking the initiative in visiting the entire Wards of Kohima town to have first hand information on the problem faced by the denizens vis-a- vis to establish personal relationship with colony people which is very important towards ushering progress and growth and also for the maintenance of cordial atmosphere.

To what extent KMC has ascertained the grievances of the colony dwellers and its approach for redressal is a matter of debate and time.

However, the gesture shown by KMC is a big encouragement, a morale booster for the colony leaders who sincerely and devotedly work for a better ambience. It is pertinent to point out that KMC after its interaction with the colony dwellers has done away with the “Service tax of 5%” which the colony/ward has to pay back to KMC from the sanitation fee collected by them. This has come as a big relief keeping in view of the deteriorating conditions of the vehicles and its maintenance cost and also towards payment of salary to the driver and his co-worker.

Another tangible achievement of the present KMC is abolishment of the Coupon system and putting it directly under its control. This has got rid of the business monopoly enjoyed by few on certain commodities that had often lead to price hike of essential commodities at will in the past. It now gives ample opportunity for the petty business people also to earn their livelihood without any hindrance in procuring their commodities.

The Beautification of the main town

like painting of the Foot Bridges, construction of pay and use toilet, construction/ renovation of drains and new public foot path on the road sides are all visible rooms of improvements that we are witnessing.

With proper vending & allotted timing for street vendors there no much complain and constraints face by the pedestrian.

In recent time, one of the news magazine reports in its national survey has categorized Kohima as the 5th costliest living city in India. Perhaps this is attributed to the sky rocketing prices of commodities for reasons best known to us and also owing to lack of mechanism to control price hike.

Here my humble plea and suggestion to the KMC is to atleast constitute a special squad to check whether commodities are sold at the prescribed rate issued by KMC in different markets of the town and defaulters are booked under appropriate section of the law. Evidently fruits, vegetables to poultry products etc are all sold at random prices fixed by the traders and the consumers are at their mercy. This is a matter of great concern as all our belly needs to be filled.

Displaying of price hoardings and setting up of consumer complain cell by KMC will go a long way towards streamlining the price control.

Lastly, I exude confidence that if the KMC leadership continues with these small innovative developments, a day is not far when Kohima the mirror of Nagaland will be Smart City in reality. As the saying goes that “we cannot clap with one hand” it is our zealous responsibility also to come forward to help and support KMC in its endeavors. Here the Kohima citizens should also no longer bask in its legacy as the land owners but instill the sense of responsibility towards doing their duties by joining hand with KMC to echo the old song of “Kohima will shine today” Zeruuzo Norbert, New Market, Kohima.

There is urgent need for person-centred care and support provision by specialist disability services and mainstream services, as also informal care and support. Sustainable funding models and service approaches must be adopted.

• Economic security: Work is the pathway to long-term economic security and wellbeing for most people. But while people with disabilities face greater direct costs than other people because of additional expenses with transport, personal and health care, diet and communications, and disability assistive requirements, they have little or no earning opportunities. People with disabilities and their families and carers suffer immense economic burdens as a result. Barriers to employment and income generating opportunities must be identified and addressed, financial independence must be promoted and adequate income support must be provided for those not able to work.

Note: The inclusion of people with disabilities in work/ employment can lead to greater economic self-sufficiency, which not only improves their quality of life but also decreases demands on social assistance.

• Rights protection and justice: People with disabilities face discrimination in many areas of life.

Salary through bank account & communitisation: need for review

N

agaland of the times about 1990 to 2012 was in such chaos with extortions, kidnappings, ransoms, killings and whatever crimes you can name. It hardly nattered who that extortionist was, for anyone could tell any name to ask for the tax. Of course, every Naga, including the writer, support the Naga National Movement, and would gladly donate whatever is feasible and perhaps even sacrifice that beyond what is normally feasible, if the activities were truly for the real cause. That is what every Naga knew; but could not speak for fear of the gun.

There were cases of robbing of employees’ salary, in bulk, before disbursement. Also bulk deductions of employees’ wages, by way of percentage deductions, etc. were usual a thing. In such a situation, the Nagaland state govt had to think of some ways to prevent robbery of salaries and bulk deductions. The seemingly best option was to prepare a Combined Pay Bill (A/Roll), with respective Bank Accounts into which the salary, of each, is to be remitted.

Having been directly transferred into his/her bank account, all that an employee has to do is to go to the Automated Time Machine (ATM) booth to draw whatever amount is needed.

This method of salary disbursement seemed miraculous and secured for many. However the method also has its disadvantages, one among many, is that many of the field staff are illiterate and

hence to use the ATM Card is not directly workable. Such illiterate employees had to entrust a family member or a friend to obtain the ATM Card and its PIN, from the bank, as well as to use the ATM card to draw money. One can imagine the burden and inconvenience for the use of ATM Card by an illiterate user. Also the ATM booths have queues that are sometimes intolerable. Not ignoring the advantages of the use of ATM Card for many purposes, the system is surely in need of review, for many reasons, chief among which is indirect siphoning of govt fund without work output.

After realising that the Naga National Movement had turned into syndicated robberies and killings, a few enlightened Nagas started expressing their voices against the irony of the so called Naga National Movement. Of all the voices of the aggrieved people, ACAUT was the saviour voice, the revolutionary philosophy which advocated “one government, one tax”.

This ACAUT voice has revolutionised the thoughts of many Nagas, especially the educated lot, and accordingly the law and order scenario has changed a lot in Nagaland, for the better. Hence as far as the case of syndicated robbery and kidnapping is concerned, the thinking of the Naga people have largely been refined to suit the “one govt, one tax” philosophy.

But an evil comparable to unabated taxation has developed among state

govt employees. This evil is drawing salary without going to work, by many employees. Unabated taxation is direct extortion from individuals; but salary without work is indirect siphoning of govt fund that is to say without commensurate work output. One should not be surprised if told that a state govt employee, posted to a place other than Dimapur or Kohima, or his/ her place of residence, drew salary through ATM for several years, at place of residence, and then got transferred to another place, without seeing his workplace.

The writer has discussed with many Controlling Officers about regular attendance of state govt employees. The simple answer given by many is the loss of control

by DDOs and hence inability to discipline any errant employee, because of the existing system of Combined Pay Bill and its disbursement through bank accounts, so they say. Of course all that a DDO/Controlling Officer says may not always be justified since some DDOs may also be taking advantage of this system of salary disbursement. It is not surprising that many DDOs requisition the Pay Bills of his/her office to Dimapur/Kohima etc, sign it and send back to the office, for routing to treasury for disbursement through the bank accounts.

sures, complaints mechanisms, advocacy, and justice delivery systems must be put in place Disability responsive budgeting It goes without saying that no action will be possible if funds and resources are not made available. Therefore, it is critical that the State Budget must demonstrate and reflect a commitment to give people with disabilities and their families a serious start to a life of inclusion and hope.

Nothing about us without us “Nothing about us without us“(Latin: “Nihil de nobis, sine nobis”) is a slogan used to communicate the idea that no policy should be decided by any representative without the full and direct participation of members the group(s) affected by that policy. This involves national, ethnic, disability-based, or other groups that are often thought to be marginalized from political, social, and economic opportunities - Wikipedia The gover nment must work collaboratively with people with disabilities and their representative organisations in the development of policies, programmes and systems that affect people with disabilities.

Disabled people are the experts in their own lives and their views are an essential part of any evidence base for action. Involving them in developing policy and development programmes will help identify

gaps in knowledge and give an indication of whether the policy or programme will work in the short and long term.

Including and engaging People with Disabilities and local Disabled Person’s Organisation (DPOs) in the design, delivery and monitoring and evaluation of policy and programmes and in round table discussion with the government is critical to hear first-hand the challenges people with disabilities are facing and identify effective approaches for collectively addressing these challenges.

“Be participatory, actively and meaningfully involving people with disability in all matters concerning them in the process of forming policies and programmes; DPOs are key players in this process” (UN DESA 2011) Conclusion An Inclusive and Enabling Nagaland where ‘No one is Left Behind’ is not an impossible dream. All it needs is political will and a strong commitment to take EVERYONE along.

For too long, Nagaland has ignored, excluded, isolated and neglected its citizens with disabilities. This is discriminatory and wrong and it needs to CHANGE.

Reader’s Post

Sir,

Without further delay

Centre government had already granted/sanctioned 6% DA rising from Rs. 119/- to Rs. 125/- w.e.f 1st January 2016. But the state government is yet to release the same till date.

Both the government and its employees are silent about this 6% DA which is really confusing (reason for their silence best known to them). I only wish/hope that government will release this DA without further delay since the Chief Minister who is holding the finance portfolio has proudly claimed that the budget for 2016-17 is the best budget which clearly means that financial position is safe and sound.

I think the government employees/unions/associations should pursue the matter at the earliest.

I Sumi, Dak-lane Kohima.

God’s divine revelation for the Naga people

Sir,

1. All the district headquartersof Nagaland has been electrified and had brightened the districts and gradually the light bulbs are diminishing, the meaning, the spiritual light of God is slowly fading away.

2. Many false prophets and false prophesies are leading the Naga people astray.

3. Deceit, immorality, gambling, alcoholism, corruption is rampant among the Nagas.

4. A flower is devouring other flowers, meaning natural calamities will occur, the paddy fields will not mature, it will be destroyed by many natural calamities.

5. Perilous pestilences, illness will occur among the Naga people, there will be sickness and death.

6. There will be clashes among the Naga factions. In a vision shown, there will be few bullets fired and a little bloodshed but later on a lot of bullets are fired and blood profusely gushing out and later on there may be war with the Indian Army, gun fire will begin in Dimapur.

7. The spirit of God has informed the Naga people to pray and fast on August 1, 2016, confess the sins of the Naga people, rebuke the forces of darkness and pray for God’s mercy and blessings upon our Naga people to restore peace and harmony and revive our nation once again.

Judges’ strength inadequate to deal with rising cases: SC NEW DELHI, JUL 13 (PTI): Filing of cases before the Supreme Court has risen so sharply over the past decades that the strength of judges was proving inadequate to deal with the backlog, the Supreme Court said on Wednesday.

The apex court, while referring to the constitution bench a plea seeking setting up of National Court of Appeal with regional benches in major cities, said there was a need to examine the issue of pendency of cases through a larger bench of five judges.

“In view of cases pending in the Supreme Court of India on average for about 5 years, in the High Courts again for about 8 years, and anywhere between 5-10 years in Trial Courts... “Would it not be part of the responsibility and duty of the Supreme Court of India to examine through a Constitution Bench, the issue of divesting the Supreme Court of about 80 per cent of the pendency of cases of a routine nature, to recommend to Government, its opinion on the proposal for establishing four Courts of Appeal... may regain its true status as a Constitutional Court,” a bench headed by Chief Justice T S Thakur said.

The apex court, which framed various questions for the constitution bench to ponder over, said statistics showed that over three-fourth of the

total cases filed were dismissed at the admission stage.

“Keeping in view the importance of the questions and the need for reforms which have been long felt, we deem it proper to refer the same to a Constitutional Bench for an authoritative pronouncement,” the court said while leaving it for the constitution bench to decide whether the Supreme Court sitting in benches in different parts of India would be an answer to the problem or not. It also left it to the appropriate bench to decide whether the right to justice, which is a fundamental right, would “stand denied to litigants due to the unduly long delay in the disposal of cases in the Supreme Court? Would the mere increase in the number of judges be an answer to the problem of undue delay in disposal of cases and to what extent would such increase be feasible?

“Would the division of the Supreme Court into a constitutional wing and an appellate wing be an answer to the problem? Would the fact that the Supreme Court of India is situated in the far North, in Delhi, rendering travel from the southern states and some other states in India, unduly long and expensive, be a deterrent to real access to justice,” a bench also comprising Justices R Banumathi and U U Lalit said.

PDP govt failed to assess situation: Omar on Kashmir unrest

SRINAGAR, JUL 13 (PTI): Accusing the Mehbooba Mufti government of failing to assess the situation after Hizbul commander Burhan Wani’s killing, NC leader Omar Abdullah Wednesday said the PDP-BJP combine had “forgotten” the lessons of 2008 and 2010 when the Valley witnessed largescale protests.

The former chief minister also charged that Mehbooba Mufti was “shamelessly” trying to convey message of normalcy in the state hit by violence.

“I will not go into whether the situation is worse or not than 2008 or 2010. That is something you people have to decide. However, I feel that unfortunately, the lessons which we learnt in 2008 and 2010, the present government has forgotten them for some reasons,” Omar told reporters here.

The former chief minister was speaking to media after paying tributes to the martyrs of 1931 at Martyrs graveyard in Khawaja Bazar in downtown area of the city here.

Omar, who is the working president of the opposition National Conference (NC), said either the government’s assessment of the situation after Wani’s killing was wrong or their preparations were not right.

“Either the present government exhibited negligence in assessing the situation after Burhan’s killing or they did not prepare for the situation.

Some reason out of the two is true that either their assessment was wrong or their preparations were not right.

So, it is the responsibility of the government to restore normalcy,” he said.

The NC leader said it was the time to reach out to the Valley with a healing touch and requested Prime Minister Narendra Modi to send specialist doctors to the Valley for treating the injured.

“Hon (Honourable) @ narendramodi ji. After Kerala fire you carried a plane load of burn specialists with you.Please send eye/trauma specialists to Kashmir,” he said.

Police to submit Patkai Christian College (Autonomous) Chumukedima-Seithekema, B.P.O. Patkai-797103, Dimapur-Nagaland report on Zakir (Affiliated to the Nagaland University) ADMISSION INFORMATION FOR DIPLOMA IN MUSIC (Under KAUSHAL) Naik soon MUMBAI, JUL 13 (PTI): Mumbai police will submit its report on controversial Islamic preacher Dr Zakir Naik to the state government before the commencement of the monsoon session of Maharashtra Legislature next week, a top Home Department official Wednesday said.

“Contrary to media reports, Zakir Naik has not been given any clean chit by the Mumbai police.

All angles are being probed and a report will be submitted to the government before the Monsoon session of the state Legislature (commencing on July 18),” a senior government official told PTI, requesting anonymity.

Naik, who is now abroad, will be interacting with media via Skype tomorrow, for which arrangements had been made in a small hall in South Mumbai, with the organisers alleging that hotels in the city had been instructed not to provide space for the media briefing under instruction from police, said a statement, which they retracted later.

Facing heat over allegation of inspiring some of the Dhaka attackers through his speeches and under scanner of the state and the central agencies, Naik is expected to clarify his position during the media interaction.

NEW DELHI, JUL 13 (PTI): Supreme Court Wednesday referred to the constitution bench a plea seeking setting up of National Court of Appeal with regional benches in major cities for deciding cases arising from high courts. An apex court bench, headed by Chief Justice T S Thakur, passed the verdict on a PIL pressing for setting up of a National Court of Appeal at Chennai, Mumbai and Kolkata and quashing of the government order rejecting the proposal on the issue. The Centre had opposed the plea on several grounds, including that the litigants cannot be deprived of the right to approach the apex court. The Centre had also said it was “neither feasible, nor desirable” and if it is set up, it will be a “self-defeating exercise as after 10 years, more number of cases will clog the system and the dockets will again get full”. In February 2014, petitioner V Vasanthakumar had moved the apex court with the same prayer when it had disposed of the matter directing the Centre to respond to his suggestion within six months. Later, the Centre had rejected his suggestion on the ground that it would require an amendment in Article 130 of the Constitution which “is impermissible as this would change the constitution of the Supreme Court completely.”

“Please don’t let the fact that these youngsters people have been injured in protests stop us from giving the best care possible.Thank you jenab,” he said.

The NC leader also appealed to the Centre to order the forces to show restraint while dealing with the protests.

“I appeal the Centre to order the forces for exercising restraint and if people and forces can be ferried in planes, then what is the problem in getting medicine here.

The news about dearth of emergency medicine is coming out of the hospitals.I request them to bring medicines and other such things in the planes in which forces are being brought.

“Our doctors must be tired now, how many hours can they work? Our operation theatres are overflowing, so I appeal them that normalcy cannot be restored by ferrying people in buses, we need some concrete steps like restraint and immediate assistance to hospitals,” he said.

NEW DELHI, JUL 13 (PTI): Keeping its promise to provide succour to refugees from neighbouring countries, the BJP-led NDA government Wednesday approved a number of facilities to members of minority communities living in India on Long Term Visa (LTV) which include opening of bank account and permission to purchase properties.

The decisions were taken at a meeting of Union Cabinet chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, an official statement said.

The facilities will be offered to persons from minority communities of Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Pakistan, namely Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, Parsis and Christians staying on LTV in India.

“The move is aimed at easing out the difficulties being faced by them,” the statement said.

The facilities to be offered are opening of bank account, permission for purchase

NE W DE LHI, JUL 13 (PTI): Two senior doctors of Apollo Hospital have been questioned in connection with the kidney trading racket unearthed in the national capital last month, police said today.

The doctors and few others were issued notices under CrPC Section 160, with the investigators asking them to join the probe into the matter at the earliest.

A Special Investigation Team questioned Ashok Sarin and D K Aggarwal, both nephrologists at Apollo Hospital, in connection with kidney transplants facilitated by the racket, yesterday evening.

They were asked to come for another round of questioning Wednesday as well, a senior police official said.

Meanwhile, the police are also in the process of sending notices to three other senior doctors, who are members of the hospital’s committee for verifying documents pertaining to transplants.

They too will be asked to join investigation into the case in connection with which the police have so far registered 2 FIRs and arrested 13 persons, including doctor’s assistants, middlemen, the kingpin Rajkumar Rao, few donors and one recipient.

of the 16 districts in seven states -- Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Delhi, Rajasthan Uttar Pradesh for a period of two years for registration as citizens of India.

The registration fees for the citizenship of India would be reduced to Rs 100 from existing range of Rs 3,000-Rs 15,000.

Government has taken a number of steps in the last two years to facilitate the stay of persons belonging to minority communities of these countries. Prime Minister Narendra Modi had, during the Lok Sabha poll campaigning in 2014, made a distinction between Hindu and Muslim refugees from Bangladesh arguing that the former should be accommodated.

“We have a responsibility towards Hindus who are harassed and suffer in other countries. India is the only place for them. We will have to accommodate them here,” Modi had said.

(PTI): Peeved over a campaign against it by AAP, the Centre today dismissed the suggestion that it has withheld 14 bills sent by the Delhi government, saying just one legislation was rejected by the President.

A senior Home Ministry official said Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung had “reserved” 11 bills passed by the Delhi Assembly and sent to the central government for Presidential approval.

Of these, only one Bill, a legislation that sought to protect 21 Aam Aadmi Party MLAs, who have been appointed Parliamentary Secretaries, from disqualification for holding office of profit, was withheld by the President.

Two bills -- Minimum Wages (Delhi Amendment) Bill 2015 and a bill to upgrade the Netaji Subhash Institute of Technology to a state university -- were sent back to the Delhi government for further clarifications. Six other bills were received by the Home Ministry on April 1, 2015.

One bill was received in December 2015 and another in August 2015.

“Of all the 11 bills, only

erations for more than six months,” the officer said.

The officer explained that since Delhi is a Union Territory, any bill it wants to adopt in the assembly has to be first sent to the central government for approval.

If the nod is given, only then can it be moved for legislative approval. When the assembly passes the bill, then it has to go to the Lieutenant Governor and again to the central government for Presidential assent.

In most of the bills, the Delhi government did not take prior approval from the central government and straightway passed them in the assembly.

Since proper procedures were not followed, the Home Ministry is bound to examine thoroughly all bills before taking a view, the official said.

The bills in contention include Delhi School (Verification Of Accounts and Refund of Excess Fee) Bill 2015, Delhi School Education (Amendment) Bill 2015, Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education (Delhi Amendment) Bill 2015 and a bill related to working journalists.

“ACB conducted searches (at the) offices of PWD in (connection with) dismantling of BRT corridor... it seems (the) centre has not learnt any lesson even after a setback given by Supreme Court on Arunachal Pradesh assembly issue,” Sisodia tweeted.

In his another tweet, he said that on the demand of public, he was the first to hammer BRT corridor and he is ready to go behind the bars for meeting the demand of his people.

10L bankers to go on one-day strike

MUMBAI, Jul 13 (PTI): The rupee trimmed its early gains, but was still quoting up by 3 paise to 67.15 against the US currency in late morning deals on bouts of dollar selling by banks and exporters amid higher domestic equities.

The Indian rupee opened higher by 67.10 as against yesterday’s closing level of 67.18 per dollar at the Inter- bank Foreign Exchange (Forex) market. The domestic unit hovered in a range of 67.17 and 67.08 during the morning deals before quoting at 67.15 per dollar at 1040 hrs. The dollar index was trading lower by 0.10 per cent at 96.41 against a basket of six currencies in the early trade.

Overseas, the US dollar was trading mixed against its major rivals in early Asian trade, while the yen clawed back some of this week’s losses, after it sank to 2-1/2-week lows reached this week as the prospects for more economic stimulus in Japan helped bolster risk sentiment.

Meanwhile, the benchmark Sensex was trading up by 27.40 points, or 0.10 per cent, to 27,835.54 at 1050 hrs.

Older models may only reach around 50 mpg, but that’s still about twice as efficient as most cars.

Sales of new four-wheeled passenger vehicles in China hit almost 25 million last year, double the volume in 2010.

India’s car sales are measly by comparison. New passenger vehicle sales have stagnated below 3 million a year since 2010. Monthly sales of less than 215,000 are well below

their historic peak of just over 300,000 half a decade ago.

India’s poor roads and choked cities favour bikes over cars, but the most important factor is price.

India’s average monthly salary of around $120 remains far below China’s average of over $9,000 a year, making motorbikes the default choice for the swelling number of young commuters.

Small motorized twowheelers cost 25,000 rupees to 50,000 rupees ($370 to $750) compared with 200,000 rupees to 500,000 rupees ($3,000 to $7,500) for the cheapest new cars.

India-based credit rating agency ICRA says the income levels of average Indians have risen 8-9 per cent a year for the past five years. In a population where 65 per cent of people are under 35, and where financing options are improving, this has supported the two-wheeler market.

“Commuting is a basic necessity, (but) in metropolitan areas and cities we have a public transport system that is not good enough,” said Yamaha’s Kurian.

“Two-wheelers have become an automatic choice because of the traffic chaos and parking issues in almost every city,” he said, adding that a lack of public transport and poor roads outside cities were also boosting sales in rural India.

From August 1, pay less for flight ticket cancellations New Delhi, Jul 13 (Agencies): Come August and fliers will have a good reason to smile.

According to Zeenews, from August 1, the new norms that caps ticket cancellation charges and bars airlines from levying additional amount for refund process are coming into force.

This means that airlines and carriers will not be able to charge additional for cancellation of tickets more than the basic fare plus fuel surcharge.

Under the revised norms, carriers would have to indicate in an “unambiguous manner” the amount of refund admissible on cancellation of a ticket.

“Under no circumstances, the airline shall levy cancellation charge more than the basic fare plus fuel surcharge,” aviation regulator DGCA said.

The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has also made it clear that airlines cannot levy additional charge to process the refund.

The move would come as a relief to air passengers against the backdrop of many carriers hiking the cancellation charges in recent times.

Coming out with the fresh set of rules, the watchdog said carriers should refund all statutory taxes and User Development Fee (UDF)/Airport Development Fee (ADF)/ Passenger Service Fee (PSF) to the passengers in case of “cancellation/ non-utilisation

of tickets/no show”.

“This provision shall also be applicable for all types of fares offered including promos/special fares and where the basic fare is non-refundable,” the DGCA said.

The changes were first proposed by the Civil Aviation Ministry in June as part of putting in place passenger friendly measures.

These norms would be effective from August 1, according to the Civil Aviation Requirement (CAR) issued by DGCA chief M Sathiyavathy on Tuesday.

To ensure more transparency, carriers would be required to indicate the refund amount in case of ticket cancellations.

The amount and its break-up may be indicated on the ticket itself or through separate form used for the purpose.

Also, the policy and amount of refund shall be displayed by the airlines on their respective websites, DGCA noted.

Further, passengers can choose whether the refund money should be kept in the airline’s credit shell or not.

“Airline shall not levy any additional charge for correction in name of the same person, when error in his name spelling is pointed out by the passenger to the airline after booking of his ticket,” the regulator said.

N EW D ELHI , J u l 1 3 (Agencies): Sanjay Kumar is beaming with joy. The 23-year-old has just bought a used motor scooter, his first, for 30,000 rupees ($445), after years of saving together with his mother.

He says the Maestro Scooter by Indian motorbike maker Hero will let him ferry his mother for shopping trips as well as navigate New Delhi’s chaotic roads between parttime jobs, reported The Economic Times.

“We never had the kind of income to buy a vehicle. Now I can take my mother on my bike for local shopping, and work otherwise. I can easily cut down on my travel time and avoid congestions by using my scooter,” he said.

Sanjay is one of millions of new motor scooter riders who have helped push the pace of India’s oil demand growth well past China’s.

Yet as long as this growth is driven by mopeds, not cars, the oil industry’s hopes that India will become a pillar of oil demand to match the giant Chinese market are set to be disappointed.

India’s thirst for gasoline the fuel most used by passenger vehicles - has soared 12.6 per cent in the first six months of the year from 2015, growing at more than double the pace of China.

NEW DELHI, Jul 13 (PTI): Gold prices advanced for the third day on Wednesday, spurred by a firm trend overseas and fresh buying by local jewellers, climbing Rs 45 to Rs 30,935 per 10 grams.

Silver, too, gained for the fourth day, rising Rs 130 to Rs 46,900 per kg due to increased off-take by industrial units and coin makers.

According to traders, a firming global trend where gold recovered after recent losses as investors took advantage of a decline and added to their bets explains the upmove.

Globally, gold climbed 0.7 per cent to $1,341.71 an ounce in Singapore.

In the national capital, gold of 99.9 per cent and 99.5 per cent purity traded higher by Rs 45 each to Rs 30,935 and Rs 30,785 per 10 grams, respectively. It had advanced Rs 190 in the last two days.

on global trend

Mumbai, Jul 13 (PTI): In a session that was marked by fluctuations, the benchmark Sensex ended almost unchanged as it closed in the green for the third consecutive day amid foreign inflows and rising global indices.

But investors were decidedly cautious as the valuation of several stocks appeared stretched in view of the recent rally. They were seen trimming their exposure at existing higher levels, pulling the key indices down from their day’s highs.

Buying activity gathered steam at the outset on positive economic data as industrial production expanded at 1.2 per cent in May after a revised reading of -1.3 per cent in April, mainly due to uptick in consumer durable output.

But the worry is retail inflation in June inched up to a 22-month high of 5.77 per cent that restricted the gains, dealers said.

In a volatile trade, the BSE Sensex after opening higher moved up on the back of gains in blue-chips, but in the end, settled at 27,815.18,

the training and assessment cost would be directly reimbursed to training providers and assessment bodies in accordance with the common norms,” the release said.

In view of the recommendations of the sub-group of chief ministers on skill development, state governments will be involved through a project-based approach under PMKVY 2016-20, with 25 per cent of the total training targets, both financial and physical, being allocated under this stream of the scheme.

The financial amount/ budget for achieving 25 per cent of the total training target of the next phase of PMKVY will be directly allocated to the states.

The release further said there will be special focus on placement of trainees with incentives or disincentives linked to placement as envisaged in the common norms.

A project-based approach for non-formal training for traditional jobs is also proposed.

earlier this year, the government commits up to 40 per cent of the project cost over a period and hands the project to the developer to start work, clearing the way for restarting work on stalled road projects.

Noting that non-performing assets (NPAs), or bad loans, have come down in the construction equipment segment suggesting borrower cash flows are improving, the report said construction gear growth was exponential during January-June this year due to public spending in the road sector and improvement in National Highway Authority of India’s (NHAI) payment cycle.

The NHAI in March invited bids for five projects under the hybrid annuity model.

“A total of six projects extending up to 209 km and worth Rs 41 billion were awarded by NHAI in May 2016. Of this, five have been on HAM and only one on EPC mode.

“This is in line with ministry’s commentary on awarding close to 85-90 per cent of the projects on HAM and EPC mode,” Jefferies said.

ing and post-training placement of trainees will be done through Rozgar Melas (placement camps) and Kaushal Shivirs (mobilisation camps).

“Skill training would be done based on industryled standards aligned to the National Skill Qualification Framework (NSQF),” an official statement said.

Apart from catering to domestic skill needs, PMKVY will focus on skill training aligned with international standards for overseas employment, including in Gulf countries and Europe. There will be scholarships for students undergoing training in high-end job roles under the programme.

The target allocation between fresh trainings and RPL will be flexible and interchangeable, depending on functional and operational requirements.

PMKVY will impart fresh training to 60 lakh youth and certify 40 lakh people who have acquired skills non-formally under the Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL), Law and IT Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad told reporters after the Cabinet meeting.

Financial support to trainees will be given in the form of travel allowance and by taking care of boarding and lodging costs. Post-placement support will be given directly to the beneficiaries through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT).

N EW D ELHI , J u l 1 3 (IANS): Noting recent positive trends in the Indian highways sector, American investment banking firm Jefferies on Wednesday said there was an increase in bids under the government’s hybrid annuity model for roads building.

“Macro developments suggest positive trends in the sector with pickup in execution. Recent bids in Hybrid Annuity model (HAM) in May-June has seen participation increasing from two-four players to seven-eight players as risk-reward is favourable,” the Jefferies India said in a report.

“Consequently, bids have become slightly aggressive as competition is becoming cognizant of the favourable risk-reward scenario in HAM versus EPC (engineering, procurement and construction) versus BOT (build-operatetransfer) model,” it said.

“Execution was strong in May at a 22 km per day completion run-rate, and will be closely watched for in the coming months,” it added.

B’desh probes ‘Peace Schools’

Zakir Naik’s Peace TV banned in Bangladesh.

Dhaka, Jul 13 (PTI): Bangladesh today launched a probe on schools bearing the name ‘Peace’, suspecting them to be linked with controversial Indian Islamic preacher Zakir Naik’s ‘Peace TV’ which was banned this week over allegations of inspiring terrorists.

Though the government does not have any specific data on how many schools are being operated with the word ‘Peace’ in their names, an official said 28 schools in Bangladesh have ‘Peace’ in their names.

The schools, in the capital Dhaka and in other parts of the country, are allegedly being operated in line with the controversial Islamic preacher’s ideals by adding ‘Peace’ to their names, bdnews24.com reported.

The government is now inquiring into the activities of the so-called ‘Peace schools’, the report said.

Intelligence agencies had

been asked to inquire into the 20 ‘Peace Schools’ spotted by the ministry in Dhaka. “If these schools actually follow Zakir Naik’s ideals, they will face action,” an offiaial said.

Bangladesh on Sunday banned Mumbai-based Naik’s channel after reports that “provocative” speeches inspired some of the militants who carried out the country’s worst terror attack at a cafe here.

50-year-old Doctorturned Naik’s speeches are believed to have inspired some of the Bangladeshi militants, who killed 22 people, mostly foreigners, at an upscale restaurant in Dhaka on July 1.

The Dhaka education board authorities said they only approved temporarily an English medium school at Lalmatia to operate under the name Peace School.

The others do not have any such permission, the report said.

international jury.

Rejecting international appeals to implement the verdict, Defence Minister General Chang Wanquan said China will not accept any proposition or action based on the decision by the arbitral tribunal.

“China’s territorial sovereignty and maritime interests in the South China Sea will not be affected by the ruling under any circumstances,” Chang said here.

China has refused to abide by the ruling of the Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA) tribunal in The Hague. It has said the Philippines’ claim over parts of the SCS is groundless from the perspectives of either history or international law.

it is only a white paper and it will not be enforced. Just dump it into garbage or put it in a shelf or put it in archives and let us come back to the track of negotiations,” he said.

He said that China hopes to go back to the negotiating table with the Philippines.

“This is the policy of the Chinese government and hope that neighbouring countries in the South China Sea and ASEAN countries jointly uphold peace and stability of the South China Sea and freedom of navigation and over flights,” he told reporters.

As to whether China will set up an Air Defence Identification Zone over the SCS to force aircraft flying in the area to seek permissions from Beijing, the assistant foreign minister said China “has the right to do so.”

“We have set up one over the East China Sea (close to Japan) and whether we will set up another in South China Sea will depend on the degree of threat we are facing.

Seoul confirms anti-missile system site Seoul, Jul 13 (AFP): Seoul said today an advanced US missile defence system will be deployed in a remote southern county and will have the capacity to protect two thirds of the country against feared attacks from the North.

The plan to deploy the powerful system, which fires projectiles to smash into enemy missiles, came last week after the United States placed North Korea’s “Supreme Leader” Kim Jong-Un on its sanctions blacklist for the first time.

The move prompted objections from Russia and China, who accused Washington of flexing its military muscle in the region.

Tensions have soared since Pyongyang carried out its fourth nuclear test in January, followed by a series of missile launches that analysts say show the North is making progress toward being able to strike the US mainland.

The Terminal High Altitude Area Defence system, or THAAD, will be deployed in Seongju county about 200 kilometres southeast of Seoul,

as agreed by US Secretary of Defence Ash Carter and his South Korean counterpart Han Min-Koo, according to the defence ministry in Seoul.

Theresa May becomes new British PM

London, Jul 13 (Agencies): Theresa May replaced David Cameron as Britain’s prime minister on Wednesday, assuming responsibility for the monumental task of negotiating a complex divorce from the European Union.

Cameron stepped down after Britons rejected his entreaties and voted to leave the EU in a referendum last month, severely undermining European efforts to forge greater unity and creating economic uncertainty across the 28-nation bloc. May, 59 assumed office after an audience with Queen Elizabeth. An official photograph showed her curtseying and shaking hands with the smiling monarch, for whom she is the 13th prime minister in a line that started with Winston Churchill. She is also Britain’s second female head of government after Margaret Thatcher. She must try to limit the damage to British trade and investment as she renegotiates the country’s ties with its 27 EU partners. She will also attempt to unite a divided ruling Conservative party and a fractured nation in which many, on the evidence of the vote, feel angry with the political elite and left behind by the forces of globalisation. EU leaders, keen to move forward after the shock of ‘Brexit’, want May to launch formal divorce proceedings as soon as possible to help resolve the uncertainty.

No-confidence motion against Oli Kathmandu, Jul 13 (PTI): Nepal’s Opposition parties today tabled a noconfidence motion against Prime Minister K P Oli after the embattled leader refused to resign despite his coalition government being reduced to a minority, plunging the country into fresh political instability.

CPN (Maoist Center), Nepali Congress and CPNUnited tabled the no-confidence motion to oust Oli a day after Prachanda’s Maoist party withdrew support to the the nine- month-old CPNUML-led coalition government and claimed that he will form the new government with the backing of the opposition. Prachanda proposed the motion while Nepali Congress President Sher Bahadur Deuba seconded it.

NC leader Ram Krishna Yadav said the motion was filed after 183 NC parliamentarians, 70 from Maoist and three of CPN-United put their signatures in the 601-member Constituent Assembly, Kathmandu Post reported.

The three parties have the combined strengthen of 292 votes in the Parliament.

Oli’s Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist Leninist) currently has 175 elected seats in parliament, far fewer than the 299 needed to win a vote of confidence.

Meanwhile, six Madhesi parties, whose combined strength is 50, have

K P Oli

also announced to support the no-trust motion. Earlier, the ministers belonging to the CPN-Maoist Centre had resigned en mass from the government.

NC leader Ramesh Lekhak and Maoist leader Ram Narayan Bidari made preparations for the no-confidence motion.

Oli has previously refused to quit and said he would rather face the parliament. A vote of confidence vote may take place next week but it could take weeks for a new coalition government to take power in the Himalayan nation, struggling to overcome the effects of the earthquakes last year.

Oli became prime minister last October, heading Nepal’s eighth government

in the past 10 years.

Cracks began to appear in the coalition two months ago when alliance partners threatened to topple Oli. He survived that attempt by drawing up an 11th-hour deal with Prachanda.

Prachanda, in a statement, yesterday said that his party withdrew support to the CPN-UML-led coalition government as Oli was hesitating to implement the past agreements -— the nine-point agreement signed between the two parties in May and the gentlemen’s agreement for the change of guard.

He said the party’s decision to withdraw support from the government would help build the national consensus.

Prime Minister Oli and the Maoist chief had reached a verbal agreement in May to hand over the leadership of the government to the latter after the Parliament endorses the new budget, according to sources close to Prachanda.

However, Oli turned a deaf ear towards the top Maoist leader and asserted that he would continue in power till the new election is held in one and a half year’s time.

Expressing dissatisfaction over the CPN-UML’s leadership, the Maoist Centre had recently intensified intra-party and inter-party dialogues to form a new government under its leadership.

Eng deserve to be top-ranked Test side London, Jul 13 (IANS): England’s legendary all-rounder Ian Botham believes his country’s Test side is the most feared in the world and deserves to be in the top of the International Cricket Council (ICC) rankings.

Alastair Cook’s team is fourth in the ICC world rankings behind Australia, India and this summer’s tourists Pakistan, who they face in the first Test at Lord’s on Thursday.

England have won four of their seven Test series since a shock home defeat to Sri Lanka in 2014, with their victory over Angelo Mathews’ men earlier this summer following triumphs against India, Australia and South Africa.

Cook’s side has also drawn with New Zealand and the West Indies in that time, with their only defeat coming against Pakistan in the United Arab Emirates last November.

England can leapfrog Pakistan and tie India with a 2-0 or 3-1 series win, but former skipper Botham insisted they’re are already the best side in the world regardless of where they are ranked come the end of the four Test matches.

“England are the best side in the world right now and certainly the most feared - they proved it against Australia and then beat South Africa on their own soil,” Botham was quoted as saying by Sky Sports on Wednesday.

“England are a confident side and a very well-organised unit. I don’t pay too much attention to the ranking system, they deserve to be number one in the world now.”

Pakistan’s recent record in England is poor, with 0-3 and 1-3 defeats in 2006 and 2010 respectively, and Botham does not expect things to improve this summer, despite the hosts being without record wicket-taker Jimmy Anderson and all-rounder Ben Stokes for the opening Test.

“It will be an exciting series but I can’t see Pakistan winning a match,” he said.

England have had their problems at the top of the order and have countered that by moving Yorkshire’s Joe Root up to No.3 following Nick Compton’s decision to take a break from the sport.

Root had an indifferent series against Sri Lanka, scoring 87 runs in the series, and slipped down to number four in the ICC rankings, but Botham believes it is the right move to promote him up the order. Botham agreed with the decision to move Root up to No.3 in the batting order.

“I’ve no problem with Joe batting at three. All the best batsmen in world cricket bat at three - look at Ricky Ponting and Viv Richards.”

“Joe is the best batsman in the world right now, and I’m sure he’ll be fine with moving up the order,” Botham concluded.

LONDON, Jul 13 (PTI): A 20-year-old Sikh man was kicked out of an overnight queue to watch the Wimbledon tennis championships a s h e a p p a r e n t ly m a d e other people around him “uncomfortable”.

The unnamed tennislover took to Facebook last week to voice his anger at being thrown out and claimed it was an act of racism, cases of which have reported a rise in the wake of Britain’s vote to leave the European Union (EU).

He wrote on Friday: “Kicked out of the overnight camping line for centre court Wimbledon line ‘because you make some people around you uncomfortable, so we’re gonna have to report you and ask you to leave immediately, sir’”.

“Post-Brexit racism and the overt rise of neo-facism.

Real Madrid would love to sign Pogba: Raul Madrid, Jul 13 (IANS): Spain and Real Madrid legend Raul Gonzalez believes his former football club would love to sign French midfield sensation Paul Pogba, who has been heavily linked with a move out of Serie A giants Juventus.

Raul, who is a keen follower of the 23-year-old, said he will boost the Real attack if they shell out Juventus’ reported asking price of around $130 million.

Pogba is the most highly coveted footballer in Europe at the moment, with Manchester United looking to seal his return, while Spanish giants Real Madrid are also interested in signing him.

He left United for free in 2012 to join Juventus, where he has blossomed into a star.

United are rumoured to have offered 13 million pounds ($16.8 million) per season to lure Pogba.

FC Pune ropes in homegrown Narayan, Augustin N e w D elhi , J ul 1 3 (IANS): FC Pune City on Wednesday announced the signing of home-grown talents in defenders Narayan Das and Augustin Fernandes for the upcoming edition of the Indian Super League (ISL).

Left back Das had previously plied his trade with Pailan Arrows, Dempo, FC Goa and East Bengal. In 2011, he made his India under-19 debut followed by U-23 debut, the next year.

In 2013, the 22-yearold graduated to make his senior national debut against Nepal and has since been a regular member with the Indian team.

Goa-born Fernandes had played in his state since the beginning of his professional

career. Starting his youth career with SESA, the centre back was drafted by Salgaocar FC in 2011.

In his debut season, he helped the Goan outfit win 2011 I League title and the Federation Cup. Since then he has been an integral part of club’s success story.

He joined Atletico Kolkata in the 2015 edition of the ISL and in the same year also made his debut with the national team. He will now be joining his former coach, Antonio Habas at FC Pune City.

Announcing the a p p o i n t m e n t s, F C P u n e CEO Gaurav Modwel said, “Augustin is a good defender with great natural talent. His reading of the game and match

situation is very good. Narayan is one of the finest left backs that we have in the country today.”

“Narayan possesses good technical ability and can be dangerous going forward. Both are proven performers at the national and international level and I am sure they will form an integral part of our defence this year.”

Habas on his part, felt both Das and Fernandes will add great value to the team formation.

“Narayan is a good left back and has the ability to go forward in the attacking positions which is a fantastic attribute to have. Augustin is a very versatile defender who can adapt to different situations and can own any position in

defence given to him,” he said.

Excited at joining the new outfit, Das said: “FC Pune City has built a good team under the guidance of coach Habas and I look forward to making my contribution and helping the team win ISL this year”.

Fer nandes, who will join Arata Izumi and Habas said: “Its always a pleasure to work with coach Habas. I am thankful to FC Pune City and coach Habas for giving me this opportunity to take a new challenge.”

Welcoming the duo, Pune City’s co-owner and Bollywood star Hrithik Roshan said: “Both Narayan and Augustin’s addition will strengthen our defence. With their skill and experience we will aim to be the best in the league.”

No future for GPS ‘A’ DILAPIDATED SCHOOL BUILDING INAUGURATED Balotelli at Liverpool: Klopp London, Jul 13 (IANS): Liverpool chief coach Jurgen Klopp has said he does not see any future for Italian striker Mario Balotelli at the football club. The German coach, however, on Tuesday said Balotelli has trained in the pre-season and that some of his abilities are “world class”.

But now the Italian striker faces tough challenge at Liverpool, who also have Daniel Sturridge, Christian Benteke, Divock Origi and Danny Ings on the books.

“I have spoken to him (Balotelli) about this,” Klopp was quoted as saying by the Guardian. “He’s not at the stage of his career where he should be battling with four or five other players for one or two positions...so it’s clear we need a solution. There will be a club around who would be happy to have the new Mario Balotelli. I have spoken clearly to the player about that.”

Sikh man kicked out of queue at Wimbledon

and silently left. I don’t feel like I’m ever going back now.

It’s still one of my favourite tour naments but can no longer definitively say it’s a lifelong dream to play on centre court,” he was quoted as saying by Metro.

Dozens of people responded to his post saying he should report the “discrimination” to police.

A Wimbledon spokesperson said: “We can confirm that a gentleman was asked to leave the queue at 4.42am this morning (Friday) after a number of complaints from his fellow queuers about his behaviour.”

He has previously been warned about his conduct in the Queue on up to six separate occasions during this year’s Championships.

“We do acknowledge, however, that in this instance the event safety staff could h ave p r ov i d e d a b e t t e r explanation to him. Happily, the same person has been in the Grounds today (Friday) watching the tennis,” he said.

But the man insists he did nothing that would warrant being escorted off the grounds, was not intoxicated, loud or aggressive and had not been previously warned about his behaviour.

London, Jul 13 (IANS): Sunderland on Wednesday confirmed that their head coach Sam Allardyce has held talks with the Football Association regarding the vacancy for England coach.

Roy Hodgson left his position as chief coach after the Three Lions’ humiliating European Championship exit at the hands of Iceland in the pre-quarterfinals, and the FA has since been searching for a successor to the former Fulham coach.

Sunderland have subsequently confirmed that they granted English football’s governing body permission to speak with Allardyce, who is now reportedly the frontrunner for the post ahead of the likes of Arsenal head coach Arsene Wenger and United States’ coach Jurgen Klinsmann.

Sunderland, who finished 17th in the English Premier League in 2015-16, have also called on the FA to conduct discussions swiftly, and still hope to retain Allardyce’s services.

“The Football Association contacted Sunderland AFC to seek permission to speak with our manager as part of what was

Golfer Lahiri positive ahead of British Open Troon (Scotland), Jul 13 (IANS): India’s Anirban Lahiri is hoping his love for the links will lead to a strong showing at The British Open which begins at the Royal Troon Golf Club here on Thursday.

The reigning Asian Tour No.1, who is making his fourth appearance in the world’s oldest championship, is eager to improve on a career best tied fifth outing in a major tournament achieved at the PGA Championship last season.

“The Open has always been good to me, so I’m hoping for a good run,” said Lahiri, who made a hole-in-one in his debut at Royal Lytham in 2012 and was tied 30th at St Andrews last year. “I’m feeling positive about my game and the golf course sets up for me. I like the way the holes shape away and it’s something that suits my eye.” After a spectacular 2015 season where he won twice in Asia, made his Presidents Cup debut, earned his PGA Tour card and broke into the world’s top-50, Lahiri’s 2016 campaign has been rather muted with only two top-10s thus far, one in Asia and the other in the United States.

All Rio-bound athletes are dope-free: NADA

NEW DELHI, Jul 13 (PTI): National Anti-Doping Agency director general Navin Agarwal said that all the Rio Olympics bound sportspersons have undergone testing for banned substances and they are dopefree.

Agarwal, however, conceded that there were issues regarding testing of a few Rio-bound sportspersons as they were not available at their “whereabouts” provided by them as mandated under the Anti-Doping Administration Management System (ADAMS) of the World AntiDoping Agency but NADA was able to get their testing done later on.

“All Rio-bound athletes have been tested. Some of the athletes have been tested at least once, some have been tested twice and some thrice.

Some athletes could not be tested on the second occasion because they were training abroad and in their case they have been tested at least once,” Agarwal, who joined last month, said.

“For those training abroad, we have hired some agencies to collect samples there (abroad) and we have tested the samples of all these athletes,” he said.

“I am quite confident that the Indian contingent at the Rio Olympics will have no doping violation by any of them this time. We also hope there will be no doping violation from other countries.

Since we are very strict as far as our athletes are concerned, we also expect same strictness from other countries so that there is fair play,” said

the 1986 batch senior IPS officer of Jammu and Kashmir cadre.

The Indian contingent at the 2004 Olympics was rocked by doping as two weightlifters - Sanamacha Chanu and Pratima Kumari - tested positive for banned substances while another lifter Monika Devi was barred from leaving for 2008 Olympics just a day before she was to board the Beijing flight.

There was, however, no such incident prior and during the 2012 London Olympics.

Asked specifically if some sportspersons have resisted from undergoing tests by not being present at their “whereabouts”, Agarwal answered in the affirmative.

“There have been a few cases, though I cannot disclose them. In such cases we issue notices and three such whereabouts failure is treated as a doping violation.

“There have been instances of one or two whereabouts failures regarding a few Rio-bound sportspersons but till now there is no instance of three whereabouts failures and so there is no doping violation so far,” he said.

Sportspersons included in the reserve testing pool need to provide their ‘whereabouts’ and they will have to be available for dope testing at specified times.

Agarwal also confirmed that discus thrower Seema Punia had undergone dope test recently at her “hometown”. Seema had recently cancelled a press conference citing an impending dope test.

I don’t want to say further on this but a dope test was conducted on her.

A dope test does not take much time and there was nothing extraordinary in conducting a dope test,” said the NADA chief who had been Director General Youth Services and Sports in Jammu and Kashmir.

India was recently named as the third most doped country in the world in a report published by WADA for cases related to 2014 and Agarwal said it was not a happy situation and he would work to get the country rid of that tag.

“NADA is still in its infancy and some of our procedures have been copied from WADA. As a national agency, there is still a lot to do.

We also want to get rid of this tag of third most doped country in the world. We are not happy with this situation. As a national policy, we are committed to a dope-free sports,” he said.

Agarwal laid out some of the targets he would want to achieve during his tenure for which he said the government would need to increase the budgetary allocation drastically.

“First, we have to spread awareness that athletes should not use doping as shortcut to success. It is harmful to their health as well to their career.

We want to educate the athletes regarding this on a massive scale and bring awareness so that we can prevent doping,” he said.

“Secondly, we want to establish regional offices of

WBO title fight will decide pro boxing’s future in India: Vijender

he has won 23, out of which two were by knock-outs.

Speaking about his opponent, Vijender said, “He is a south paw guy and I know him and he is a very experienced guy, and when I spoke to (my) coach, we will take him, its not that difficult, but we will take him, don’t worry.”

“But I know, he have experience, I know that, his record is that 35 or something, I don’t know, but it is a record right now. But I have an Olympic medal. I just did like, I get Olympic medal, I did Asian Games, Commonwealth Games, so I do everything, but not in pro in amateur, I can do that and I know that.”

Vijender who dominated his opponents in the previous six professional bouts, decided not make or pass any comments on his opponent before the flight, rather he was solely focused on getting the job done.

“I don’t want to say anything before the fight, pass any comment or any bad thing about him, ok like that I am going to destroy him.”

Rio de Janeiro, Jul 13 (IANS): Brazilian superstar Neymar has admitted that he was quite overwhelmed when he first saw Lionel Messi and other FC Barcelona icons before his debut for the Catalan giants.

The 24-year-old joined Barcelona from Santos in 2013 and has developed into one of the best in the business.

“I was afraid when I saw Messi and the others before my first Barcelona game,” Neymar was quoted as saying

by TV Globo on Wednesday.

“I got into the dressing room and Messi, Xavi, (Andres) Iniesta, (Gerard) Pique and Dani Alves were all there.

These guys were my idols. It was almost as if I was playing on the Playstation. It was very difficult in the beginning,” he added.

Neymar said it was his Brazilian teammate Dani Alves who helped him settle down at Camp Nou. “Dani Alves was fundamental for me when I came to Barcelona to help me adapt and become what I am now,” he said.

(PTI) Mumbai, Jul 13 (IANS): India’s star boxer Vijender Singh on Wednesday said his first home professional bout against Australia’s Kerry Hope for the WBO Asia Pacific super middleweight title will decide the future of professional boxing in the country.

T h e 2 0 0 8 O ly m p i c Games bronze-medallist, who won his first six professional bouts outside India, will fight for the first time in front of his home fans in New Delhi on July 16.

“I think, there is no pressure and more responsibility because this fight will decided what is the future of pro boxing in India, and people are excited and coming to see the fight. Of course I will have to give my 100 percent, I have to win the fight, that’s an important part, but there is no pressure, responsibility is there, fulfill it and take the title,” Vijender told reporters here.

The Delhi lad will face an opponent who has an experience of 30 bouts, of which

the NADA so that it covers the length and breadth of the country to have meaningful impact of anti-doping programmes. Currently, sportspersons from the eastern and southern region of the country faced inconvenience while coming to appear before the disciplinary and appeal panels of the NADA in New Delhi.

“Thirdly, we want to make NADA the hub of dope testing and anti-doping activities in South Asian region.

Currently also samples come to NADA from neighbouring countries for testing. We want to be leader in South Asia in eliminating doping.”

Agarwal was candid in admitting that to realise these aims a drastic increase in budgetary allocation will be required.

Chhattisgarh milk seller Renuka Yadav fulfils her Rio dreams

RAIPUR, Jul 13 (Agencies): Renuka Yadav used to sell milk as a young girl in Rajnandgaon, door-to-door on her bicycle, while her parents worked as domestic helps in people’s homes. This small town girl from Chhattisgarh has come a long way from those difficult times. Now 22, Renuka was on Tuesday named in the 16-member women’s hockey squad for the Rio Olympics - something she had dreamt of for years.

“It was not an easy journey. I belong to a lower middle-class family. I used to sell milk while my parents did household work like dusting and cleaning in others home to earn a livelihood,” she told TOI on Tuesday.

Playing as midfielder and full back in the national hockey team for some time now, Renuka has set an example through sheer determination and hard work.

Sharing her “happiest moment”, an elated Renuka said, “This is a golden moment of my life. We have got the opportunity to be at the Olympics after a long gap of 36 years. I am happy to be the first ever woman Olympian of Chhattisgarh.”

She added: “I have been playing hockey since childhood. Bushan Sao, my first mentor, encouraged me to take to the game. “My journey began there and today I am here in Indian team for Rio,” she gushed.

Sao, a school-level hockey coach in Rajnandgaon, told TOI: “She was in class 7 when she started playing hockey.

I gifted her the first hockey stick,” he said. “It’s her hard work that earned her this position today.

In the school team, we used to practice twice in a day but only Renuka practised even during extra time.

She was always very eager to learn,” he said.

A b o u t h e r j o u r n e y, Renuka said: “After class 10, I got selected to Girls Hockey Academy in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, where I got free coaching.”

Renuka, now a train ticket examiner with Central Railway in Mumbai, said her parents Motilal Yadav and Kanti Yadav and younger brother Komal are still in Ranjnandgaon. “Chief minister Raman Singh is also from Rajnandgaon. I hope the state government will take some steps to encourage players and support them,” she said.

US Open singles champions to earn USD 3.5 mn

New York, Jul 13 (Agencies): This year’s US Open men’s and women’s singles champions will each earn a record USD 3.5 million, up from USD 3.3 million in 2015.

The US Tennis Association announced Tuesday the total tournament purse will be USD 46.3 million, a USD 4 million increase from a year ago. The US Open has the largest

purse of the four majors.

The payout for each round in singles is rising by an average of 10 per cent. The runnersup will receive USD 1.75 million while a player who loses in the first round will make USD 43,300. The winning doubles teams get USD 625,000. The year’s last Grand Slam tournament starts August 29 at Flushing Meadows.

N ew D elhi , J u l 1 3 (IANS): Afghanistan are attempting to have more OneDay International (ODI) cricket fixtures leading into September 2017 cut-off for 2019 World Cup qualification by proposing annual bilateral games against India and teams touring the country starting from next year.

“If we sign the MOU (Memorandum Of Understanding) which we sent to India, potentially Afghanistan Cricket Board will be in a better position than where we are right now, scheduling ODIs with India and scheduling ODIs with teams travelling to India on an annual basis,” ACB Chief Executive Shafiq Stanikzai was quoted as saying by espncricinfo on Wednesday.

“But still it will be bilateral ties. If a travelling team to India wants to play us in India, it is totally up to them.” Stanikzai also said he had already sent the draft to Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) President Anurag Thakur and had a word or two with him during the International Cricket Council (ICC) annual conference in Edinburgh a few days back. However, the BCCI officials have not yet spoken on the proposal.

Stanikzai believes shifting their home ground from Sharjah to

Greater Noida, outside Delhi, will also help them get more games with sides touring the country. “Since induction into the FTP, a larger challenge arose for Afghanistan,” Stanikzai said. “A is arranging fixtures with Full Members and B is funding it and finding funds to accommodate your needs. The expectation of the Afghanistan people has grown immensely.

Afghanistan Cricket Board is under tremendous amount of pressure by not having fixtures with Full Members.“ A strategic plan unveiled recently by the ACB set targets for Afghanistan to be a top-six ODI team by 2019 and a top-three team in both T20Is and ODIs by 2025.

The Chief Executive believes the goals are real but added they would need to play enough fixtures against Full Members to achieve them.

“The biggest challenge for us for the time being is the competition structure or the fixtures for Afghanistan to compete against Full Members,” Stanikzai said. “That’s somewhere we are lacking and somewhere we need the support from ICC, or maybe Full Member boards should realise they need to make this great game more globalised and take it into the Associate world,” he added.
